What are the two types of transactions?

• A. Cash Transaction
• B. Credit Transaction
• C. Cash Transaction and Credit Transaction
• D. Debit Transaction

Answer: (C)

Two main kinds of transactions exist: cash and credit. In a cash transaction, payment happens at the moment the goods or services are exchanged, so nothing is owed afterward. In a credit transaction, the goods or services are provided with the understanding that payment will be made later, creating an obligation to pay under agreed terms. These two categories cover the common ways buyers settle up with sellers—either immediately or after a delay. A debit transaction is simply one way to pay, not a separate type of transaction by itself, so it doesn’t capture the full way transactions are classified here.
